Crete’s capital and airport city. Much of what is listed for sale is city apartments rather than holiday homes, which is why the coast east of it reads differently.

Every Greek short-term rental must be registered in the AADE Short-Term-Stay Property Registry (Μητρώο Ακινήτων Βραχυχρόνιας Διαμονής) and show its registration number (ΑΜΑ) on every advert. There is no public lookup, so Brixfox shows a number only where the listing itself discloses one and never presents a listing as registered.
An ΑΜΑ is issued to the person who registers the property under their own Greek tax number (ΑΦΜ) — it does not transfer with the sale. The buyer registers afresh: have a Greek accountant confirm the municipality still accepts new short-term-rental registrations (central Athens has been frozen since January 2025) before underwriting rental income.
Portal coordinates are fuzzed by about 200 m, and a direct-agency listing sits on the agency’s own pin or its village centre, so every position here is approximate. Freehold, priced in EUR.
Matched on the listing's stated area; a home described as two areas can appear under both. Prices in EUR as listed.

Net yield is the median fully-managed after-tax net on all-in cost of the 20 listings scoring 83.3 or more on BrixfoxScore here (the top decile, ties included), the cut every Brixfox market and region card leads with; the median across all 299 listings with a net figure is 3.2%. €/m² over 303 listings with a stated building size; gross yield is projected STR revenue over true all-in acquisition cost, over 299 listings with an estimate. Net yield after management and tax is on each property page.
